field size question

[Sergeant Ron]

Is it possible to lock a field size so that a user cannot type beyond its boundries? I have a narrative field that I would like restricted to a certain size.

[Raybaudi]

Yes, you can with the use of this calc as an auto-enter/replace calculation of yourField:

Left ( yourField;chars )

were chars is the number of characters that you want to allow

You can add a validation by number of chars and a custom message too.
